MORLAND (George), deec’d . London 


Born in the Haymarket, London, 1763; pupil of 
his father; died in 1804. He came of a family of 
painters of some note, and his father was a 
portrait painter and drawing master, who also 
dealt in pictures. ‘The boy was born in the Hay- 
market, London, on June 26, 1763, and under his 
father’s tutition he drew aud painted with marked 
ability while yet a little child. His talent was so 
great, and his ability so marked, that he foundan 
abundance of patronage from both private col- 
lectors and dealers, and the popular nature of his 
subjects made a wide market for his works in the 
form of engravings. How wonderful his native 
talent was is shown by the fine quality of the 
pictures he produced. In the last eight years of 
his life he left a record of nearly eight hundred 
paintings, besides hundreds of drawings made for 
the engravers or for quick sale to collectors.
